What cracks me up about this story isn’t that Tennessee cops can’t tell the difference between a marijuana leaf and the Ohio State symbol. It’s that they think drug dealers are stupid enough to advertise their wares on their cars.

Georgia Tech’s participation in the last ACCCG had the effect on FSU ticket sales you might have guessed. In other words, Chantastic!

New Coke was a cover so that Coke Classic could re-introduce the original formula with corn syrup instead of cane sugar without the public backlash. It was a strategic mis-direction played to perfection.

If you’re a purist you can still get the cane sugar Coke at Walmart in the Mexican foods section. If you vacation in the Caribbean all their Coke is still sweetened with cane sugar. Tastes best in the short glass bottles. Maintains the correct carbonation.

Sometimes you can find the regular bottled Coke with real sugar around Passover too (though I’ve noted lately that Kroger has been putting the real sugar Mexican Cokes and Sprites in the $1 bin, so perhaps it’s getting more popular?)

That is not always true. Imported beverages from Mexico and Central America often are sweetened with cane sugar but the price is subject to commodities pricing like other ingredients. One reason for the paper labels on the glass bottle – the sweetener may change if the price of cane sugar is higher. In those instances, the bottler will use another sweetener which is often corn syrup.

The story assures me that some cops are dumb enough to pull people over with no PC, admit to same, then tell an older woman that she should take a sticker off her car to prevent other cops from being similarly asinine.

I wonder what story they would have come up with to make the arrest if granny was riding dirty.

“We pulled her over for improper lane usage as she was driving with her driver’s side tires over the fog line, smelled the strong odor of marijuana in an about the interior of the vehicle, asked to search it and she consented.” (All the cops involved nod in agreement and say in unison: “That’s the way it went down.”)

If the NCAA loses the O’Bannon suit it’s obvious lots of people are out of business. My guess is one of the first would be Tennessee. Their finances are such a mess with long term contracts and buyouts they are probably bleeding orange (literally) over the thoughts of what might happen.
